Micro> USE a USB FLASH DRIVE of 32 GB as your hard drive and boot from the USB drive.


Out of curiosity . . .
Just how would I go about making a boot USB which
runs the operating system and has the drivers etc. etc.?

I once tried creating a boot USB by installing from
the Windows CD to a USB . . . and that did not work.
(If I remember correctly, it said "YOU have no hard disk.")

Zim

a suggestion for you for the future.
1. Glad you got a work around for the problem.

2. You can always take a larger drive and partition it using free disck partitioning software ( think Hiren's 98 boot cd) or partition magic or some other one.

Then, when you have created a small partition on the hard drive, you can install windows 2000 into that partition and boot from there as well.

Another better suggestion:

USE a USB FLASH DRIVE of 32 GB as your hard drive and boot from the USB drive. No different than using a solid state drive. Lots faster too.

Just a few more ideas for you consider....

Glad you got it going!
